I’m Mike (he/him pronouns). I grew up in Portland, Maine, and moved to the Twin Cities in 2014 to attend Macalester College.
My work often involves sifting through the waste of the Anthropocene to deconstruct dominant cultural symbols and our frayed connection with the natural world. Recent projects have used satellite imagery to explore the relationship between golf courses and prisons, and hacked surveillance footage to frame contemporary American landscapes.
Since 2015, I’ve curated dozens of live shows and exhibitions. My most recent curatorial project was Normal Residential Purposes︎︎︎, a pop-up gallery in the apartment that I share with my partner, Miranda.
My arts writing has been published with MnArtists, Public Parking, MLPSART, and TEMP/reviews.
